Overview

The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) operates within the Materials category, where it is one of 15 funds tracked by ETFValuer. Issued by Global X Funds, the fund has accumulated assets under management of $6.00 billion and trades at a price of $39.89. It holds an overall rank of #418 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories, receiving an ETFValuer grade of D with a score of 40.5 out of 100. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.69% while offering a dividend yield of 4.79%. The substantial asset base of $6.00 billion suggests significant investor adoption despite the fund's lower overall ranking and grade. This combination of high assets and a D grade indicates a large fund that has faced challenges relative to its peers in the broader market.

Short-term performance shows volatility with a 1-day decline of -3.01% followed by a 1-week gain of +3.00%. The fund experienced significant losses over the medium term, dropping -10.80% in one month and falling -29.36% over three months. Year-to-date returns stand at -13.40%, while the six-month return is -29.47%, indicating a sustained downward trend in recent periods. In contrast, the one-year return is positive at +1.42%, and the three-year return shows a sharp increase of +100.73%. This pattern reveals a divergence where long-term gains have been substantial, yet recent short-term and medium-term horizons have been marked by steep declines.

The fund is assigned a Very High volatility label and carries a beta of 1.41, indicating it moves more aggressively than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of -0.07 suggests that the risk-adjusted returns have been negative over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -37.81% highlights the potential for severe capital loss during market downturns. This combination of high beta and a negative Sharpe ratio implies that the fund has generated significant volatility without providing adequate compensation for the risk taken. The data points to a profile where the ETF experiences amplified swings in both up and down markets, with the recent drawdown reflecting the intensity of these movements.

URA Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.53% and average daily volume is 3.6M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $6.00B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: URA is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
